We don't have time here to go into all the hidden complications with dairy products, but here is a wonderful recipe that will take the place of regular cheese, giving you a cholesterol free version that is just packed with nutrition!

Simple Cheeze Sauce

1 C. raw cashews
2 C. water
½ lg. or 1 sm. Red bell pepper (or ¼ C. canned pimentos or red peppers)
